STOP FOR CHECK-ROW WIRES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,240, dated September 4:, 1883. 1 Application filed December 6, 1852. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, A. M. SAOKETT, f Olinton, in the county of De Witt and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful I Improvements in Stops for Check-Row Wires,

of which the following is a specification;

My invention consists in forming a knob on the end of the j oints of check-row wire by coiling saidwire on itself in the direction of its length, and in a pair of metal disks,.of annular formation, connected from their peripheries by parallel bars, which form a receptacle for the knobs of the check-row wire, said disks having their outer surfaces partially rounded to better operate the check-row lever, and their opposing surfaces plane to form a swivel-joint with the before-mentioned knob onthe check-rowwire. In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side view of my combined stop and swivel; Fig. 2 is a top view, and Fig. 3 an end view,of the same. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the stop, showing the figure described by the coil of the knob when actingas a swivel; and Fig. 5 is a broken longitudinal section through the'bars of the stop, showing the position of the coil with relation to the holein the end of the stop. a a are the disks or buttons, provided with holes 0 and plane opposing faces, and connected bybars b b. d is the check-row wire, pro-- vided with coil 0, that forms the swivel-surface f. The coil, in acting as a swivel, describes the figure shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4. The tension of the check-row wire, coming against surface f of coil e, only tends to 5 shorten the bend and thereby strengthenthe I knob. By forming'the disks with plane opposing faces only a small surface of the coil comes in contact therewith, and consequently the swivel acts freely, without any tendency 0 to bind or cramp. The connecting-bars are placed at the peripheries of the disks to leave room for a free motionof the swivel-coils, and are made wide to afford greaterprotection for thesame, and to expose, as near as possible, a solid surface to the check-row lever and other influences. I r I claimv 1. The combination, in a check-row-wire swivel, of coil e and plane-surfaced annular disks a, substantially as shown and described.

2. A combined stop and swivel for check row wire, consisting in the combination of disks a a, bars b b, and coils e e on wire d, all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth. A. M. SAGKETT.
